“That’s right, it’s my bed, why shouldn’t I sleep in it? At least tonight, it’s still my bed.” Qin Susu was reminded by Liang Yuchen’s words and got up to lie down on the bed.
Looking at Liang Yuchen again, he was still sitting on his bed.
He's sitting here, how is she supposed to sleep?
Sleepiness washed over Qin Susu, and her vision blurred.
"Liang Yuchen, you should go back to sleep too, don't miss tomorrow's schedule."
As she talked, she drifted off to sleep.
At the end of the Chou hour (1-3 AM),
Gu Qian had just sat up when Qiu Yan woke up.
He told her not to send it, but she did anyway.
Under the night sky, Qiu Yan followed behind Gu Qian.
At the hour of Yin (3-5 AM), Duan Xiang and Liang Yuchen gathered at the city gate.
Gu Qian was followed closely by Ling Yun and Ling Zhi, with his 100,000 soldiers outside the city.
Qiu Yan watched from afar, unaware that her younger brother and sister had appeared behind her at some point.
Also secretly seeing them off were Ling Qi and Ling Ba, who appeared in the corner.
Looking again, He Jinran, riding a fine horse, galloped up in front of Gu Qian.
"Father, I've come to see you off."
"Okay, Xiao Ran, we need to get going. Let's go back." Gu Qian glanced around and waved to Qiu Yan from afar.
He Jinran nodded, but secretly harbored his own thoughts.
He wondered how he could sneak into the marching ranks unnoticed.
"Xiao Ran!" Gu Qian dismounted and walked a few steps towards He Jinran.
“You’re all grown up now, you can’t be willful. The Qin family won’t let this go.”
Those few words made He Jinran stop in his tracks.
He glanced at Qiu Yan in the distance, then turned his horse around and rode towards her.
Qiu Yan and the others watched Gu Qian leave the imperial city step by step...
As Qiu Xu and He Jinran turned around, they encountered He Lin, and the three of them headed towards the palace together.
Qiu Yan stared at the city gate, unable to look away for a long time.
She silently prayed that Gu Qian would return soon.
Qiu Ling'er supported Qiu Yan's wrist, "Sister, let's go."
"Um."
Just as Qiu Yan was about to turn around, she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her.
"Liang Yuchen, you stop right there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Susu rushed over.
She looked at the now quiet city gate, and was about to catch up when Qiu Yan grabbed her arm.
"Susu, the person is gone."
Qiu Ling'er looked puzzled when she saw Qin Susu's behavior.
"Master Susu, what's wrong?"
"Hmph, you stinky man!" Looking at Qin Susu again, her face was flushed with anger, and her eyes were red-rimmed. "Liang Yuchen!"
"What's wrong?" Qiu Yan asked, puzzled as she looked at Qin Susu.
"..." Qin Susu turned around and clung to Qiu Yan's shoulder.
"He...he lied to me."
As she spoke, she burst into tears, clearly very angry.
"How did he lie to you?" Qiu Yan was even more puzzled; this couple was somewhat unusual.
Qiu Ling'er took out a handkerchief and handed it to Qin Susu. "Master Susu, he's gone."
"You stinking man, you're a piece of trash!" Qin Susu wiped away her tears haphazardly and continued to sob on Qiu Yan's shoulder.
Qiu Yan... her shoulder was soaking wet.
That's enough.
She stopped asking questions and let Qin Susu hold her tightly.
We waited until Qin Susu had cried enough.
He just took out a letter from his pocket.
“Look.”
Qiu Yan took the envelope and saw the words "Divorce Agreement" written on it.
The moment the divorce papers were pulled out, both Qiu Yan and Qiu Ling'er paused for a moment.
“You…” Qiu Yan took out the divorce papers from the envelope.
After unfolding...
"Empty?" Qiu Ling'er felt a sense of relief.
Seeing Master Susu crying so sadly, she thought that Master Susu had suffered some great injustice.
"Yes." Qin Susu's tears were still falling. "He lied to me, saying that today, I would be free."
Qiu Yan patted Qin Susu on the back of the shoulder.
"I thought Lord Liang had bullied you. So what if it's empty? It means Lord Liang doesn't want to divorce you; he still likes you."
"Who wants her to like him... him... I hate him!" Qin Susu's face was flushed, but she couldn't say the words.
Qiu Yan... there must be a reason why Su Su is so angry.
Susu, you're getting older, but why isn't your mind growing along with it?
She guessed that all these years, Liang Yuchen had simply been tolerating Qin Susu.
Knowing Qin Susu's cunning, she couldn't outsmart Liang Yuchen.
...After Gu Qian left, everything in the General's Mansion returned to normal.
Since Gu Qian had already said goodbye to Qiu Yumei and the others in advance, they were aware of his departure for the expedition.
They were somewhat surprised, and also somewhat worried.
…Ever since the palace examination ended, Qiu Xu, though remarkably calm, was constantly filled with tension and anticipation.
He Jinran had been nervous for a few days, but now he had completely forgotten about the palace examination results.
The other students couldn't sleep all night.
Qiu Dazhi and Du Changjun were also anxiously waiting at the general's mansion.
Especially on the night before the results are released,
Those scholars who participated in the palace examination were all filled with anxiety and unable to sleep.
They were anxious, excited, timid, and worried.
The next day, before dawn, the area beneath the imperial edict was already crowded with students waiting to see the results.
Those who could stand out from the imperial examinations were no ordinary people in any dynasty.
On the day the results were released, a day that everyone was eagerly anticipating,
Early morning, Dongjin Imperial City Street,
The list of winners is presented in the eyes of the public.
The golden list, over ten feet long, was written on yellow paper with light ink, symbolizing joy and good fortune.
Besides the students, the people of Dongjin also came out of their homes and crowded the streets to see which student would be the top scholar this year.
Beneath the imperial edict, crowds thronged, jostling to see it.
The scene was so lively that the streets were deserted, far more bustling than during festivals like Chinese New Year.
Some students pushed through the crowd to squeeze to the front of the list.
Some, upon discovering they had failed the exam, looked up to the sky and sighed deeply.
Some students were overjoyed upon seeing their names and rushed to tell others...
Ten years of honing a sword, one day to test its edge.
Once one passes the imperial examination and is listed on the golden list, it is possible that...
"In the morning a peasant, in the evening an official in the emperor's court."
This is a dramatic and transformative change.
Qiu Yan and Feng Hua Liu Sha went there early in the morning.
But once they got there, they couldn't squeeze in at all.
Qiu Yan was protecting her pregnant belly at all times.
When Qiu Xu and He Jinran came out of the palace, they saw the same scene.
They realized they were a little late.
He Jinran started looking at the last place, and the feelings he had completely forgotten about were rekindled.
Today, I feel uneasy again.
He feared that he would fail the imperial examination and lose face for the royal family.
Qiu Xu glanced at the imperial edict, but couldn't find his own name.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure behind him.
"Master!"
Qiu Xu shouted loudly, and He Jinran turned around.
"Master!"
He shouted excitedly.
Immediately, they rushed out of the crowded area.
When his master arrived, Qiu Xu didn't even have time to look at the list and quickly went to meet his master.
Outside the crowd,
Li Zheng was also peering over to check the imperial edict.
